Transition Year

TY Rap songs.

The Transition Year Programme is a unique one year programme that promotes the personal, social, vocational and educational development of students and prepares them for their role as autonomous, participative and responsible members of society. TY provides a bridge to enable students to make the transition from the more dependent type of learning associated with Junior Cycle to the more independent learning environment associated with Senior Cycle. It encourages the development of a wide range of transferable critical thinking and creative problem solving skills.

Transition year offers students a marvellous opportunity to learn and develop. Make the most of this opportunity and invest in T.Y.

WHAT THE PARENTS HAVE TO SAY:

‘My son benefitted a lot from doing Transition Year, he was very young and needed time to decide what he wanted to do after school, this was a great year for him to experience new opportunities, to take on extra responsibilities and to gain a confidence. I’ve never seen anyone more content, happy and loving the year.’ (TY Parent)

WHAT THE STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY:

‘Transition Year is full of opportunities…You get to try things you would never have thought you could do.’

‘We do so much that we can put on our C.V.’s’

‘TY is an amazing experience. You have so much fun and make loads of new friends.’

‘Every week we do something new and there’s always something happening.’

“Doing the Drama was a real bonding experience and my self confidence grew by being on stage.”

“We have all grown and matured and developed new skills and grown closer as a group”
